ITEM EXPLANATION: Project applications Environmental Review ZC05-12 MP 149 (U) CUP 05-13 HMPP 06-01 Administrative Approvals Reviewed by and Final at Planning Commission X X To be Reviewed - Final at Council X L_ X X On August 16, 2006, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing and recommended to the City Council (6-0) adoption of a Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program and approval of a Zone Change and Master Plan Amendment. The actions affect a 0.50 acre city-owned property proposed as the site for Fire Station No. 6 and its access to Rancho Santa Fe Road. The property is located on the west side of Rancho Santa Fe Road, about Vz mile south of San Elijo Road, and is within Local Facilities Management Zone 11. The City acquired the subject property in the 1980s for the express purpose of building a fire station. The proposed fire station would permanently replace temporary Fire Station No. 6 on Levante Street. At that same hearing, the Planning Commission also approved (6-0) a Conditional Use Permit and Habitat Management Plan Permit to develop the permanent fire station, proposed as a two story, 6,200 square foot facility, and the approximately 400-foot long access road to connect the project site to Rancho Santa Fe Road. No public testimony was offered at the hearing. Among other things, the Planning Commission discussed intersection improvements, including signalization, proposed where the project access would connect with Rancho Santa Fe Road. The proposed Master Plan Amendment would delete the 0.50 acre project site from the La Costa Master Plan, which the City approved in 1972 and which has been replaced in the project vicinity by the Villages of La Costa Master Plan ("Villages Master Plan"). The proposed Zone Change would amend the project site's zoning from Planned Community (P-C) to One-Family Residential, minimum 20,000 square foot lot size (R-1-20,000). The project site is surrounded by, but not a part of, the Villages Master Plan. The Villages Master Plan also designates property surrounding the proposed fire station as open space, which the project's access would cross. The project proposes no changes to the Villages Master Plan or the open space designation. FOR CITY CLERKS USE ONL Y. COUNCIL ACTION: APPROVED DENIED CONTINUED WITHDRAWN AMENDED aa D D CONTINUED TO DATE SPECIFIC CONTINUED TO DATE UNKNOWN RETURNED TO STAFF OTHER -SEE MINUTES D Daa Page 2 - Fire Station No. 6-ZC 05-12/MP 149(U) FISCAL IMPACT: As a city project, all expenditures to construct the fire station, including extension and installation of necessary utilities, will be borne by the City. Funding in the amount of 5.4 million dollars has been appropriated in the 2006-2007 Capital Improvement Program for planning, design and construction of the project. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: Staff conducted an environmental impact assessment and determined the project could potentially have a significant impact to biological resources, geology/soils, hydrology/water quality, land use and planning, noise, and mandatory findings of significance. However, mitigation measures have been incorporated into the project design and conditions of approval so all potentially significant impacts would be mitigated to a level of insignificance. Consequently, a Notice of Intent to adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) was published in the newspaper and sent to the State Clearinghouse for public review. The two comments received during the 30-day review period did not warrant any substantial revisions to and recirculation of the MND. Further, the Planning Commission has recommended adoption of the MND. EXHIBITS: 1. City Council Ordinances No. NS-«17 NS-818 2. City Council Resolution No. 2006-288 3. Location Map 4.

City of Carlsbad Planning Department CASE NAME: CASE NO: NOTICE OF INTENT TO ADOPT A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION FIRE STATION NO. 6 CUP Q5-13/ ZC 05-12/MP- 149(UVHMPP 06-01 PROJECT LOCATION: The project site is located on the west side of recently constructed Rancho Santa Fe Road, about 0.5 mile south of San Elijo Road. The project site also borders the east side of former Rancho Santa Fe Road, which has been turned into a public trail. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Proposed is an approximately 6,200 square foot, two story fire station. The station would accommodate up to four employees and two apparatus vehicles. The fire station would be built on a 0.5 acre city-owned parcel located approximately 300-feet west of recently constructed Rancho Santa Fe Road. An additional 0.85 acre is needed for accessory improvements and access to Rancho Santa Fe Road. The entire 1.35 acre project site is largely disturbed and much of it has been previously graded. The project site is surrounded by open space preserve, which would be crossed via an existing access and utility easement to provide project access. A zone change and an amendment to the La Costa Master Plan is proposed for the project. A minor adjustment to the 1995 City of Carlsbad/Fieldstone/La Costa Associates Habitat Conservation Plan/On-going Multi-Species Plan for Properties in the Southeast Quadrant of the City of Carlsbad, California, the document which governs the surrounding open space preserve, is proposed primarily to allow project access. PROPOSED DETERMINATION: The City of Carlsbad has conducted an environmental review of the above described project pursuant to the Guidelines for Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act and the Environmental Protection Ordinance of the City of Carlsbad. As a result of said review, the initial study (EIA Part II) identified potentially significant effects on the environment, but (1) revisions in the project plans or proposals made by, or agreed to by, the applicant before the proposed negative declaration and initial study are released for public review would avoid the effects or mitigate the effects to a point where clearly no significant effect on the environment would occur, and (2) there is no substantial evidence in light of the whole record before the City that the project "as revised" may have a significant effect on the environment. Therefore, a Mitigated Negative Declaration will be recommended for adoption by the City of Carlsbad City Council. X A copy of the initial study (EIA Part II) documenting reasons to support the proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration is on file in the Planning Department, 1635 Faraday Avenue, Carlsbad, California 92008. Comments from the public are invited. Please submit comments in writing to the Planning Department within 30 days of the date of this notice. The proposed project and Mitigated Negative Declaration are subject to review and approval/adoption by the City of Carlsbad Planning Commission and City Council. Additional public notices will be issued when those public hearings are scheduled. If you have any questions, please call Scott Donnell in the Planning Department at (760) 602-4618.

DETERMINATION: The City of Carlsbad has conducted an environmental review of the above described project pursuant to the Guidelines for Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act and the Environmental Protection Ordinance of the City of Carlsbad. As a result of said review, the initial study (EIA Part 2) identified potentially significant effects on the environment, and the City of Carlsbad finds as follows: PR] Although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because the mitigation measures described on an attached sheet have been added to the project. I | The proposed project MAY have "potentially significant impact(s)" on the environment, but at least one potentially significant impact 1) has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and 2) has been addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis as described on attached sheets. (Mitigated Negative Declaration applies only to the effects that remained to be addressed). I I Although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there WILL NOT be a significant effect in this case because all potentially significant effects (a) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT or NEGATIVE DECLARATION pursuant to applicable standards and (b) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT or NEGATIVE DECLARATION, including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed project. Therefore, nothing further is required.

Assessor's Parcel Number 223-617-24 18 ("the Property"); and 2Q WHEREAS, said application constitutes a request for a Zone Change as shown on 21 Exhibit "X" dated August 16, 2006, attached hereto and on file in the Planning Department, 22 FIRE STATION NO. 6 - ZC 05-12, as provided by Chapter 21.52 of the Carlsbad Municipal 23 Code; and 24 WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did on the 16th day of August, 2006, hold 25 a duly noticed public hearing as prescribed by law to consider said request; and26 27 WHEREAS, at said public hearing, upon hearing and considering all testimony 28 and arguments, if any, of all persons desiring to be heard, said Commission considered all factors relating to the Zone Change. 1 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED by the Planning 2 Commission as follows: 3 A) That the foregoing recitations are true and correct. 4 <. B) That based on the evidence presented at the public hearing, the Commission RECOMMENDS APPROVAL of FIRE STATION NO. 6 - ZC 05-12 based 5 on the following findings and subject to the following conditions: 7 Findings: o0 1. That the proposed Zone Change from Planned Community (P-C) to One-family residential, minimum 20,000-square-foot lot size (R-l-20,000) is consistent with the goals and policies of the various elements of the General Plan, in that: 10 a. The R-l-20,000 zone is consistent in terms of allowable uses and density with the project's existing Residential Low-Medium Density (RLM) General Plan land use designation. b. The R-l-20,000 zone is an appropriate zone for a fire station and facilitates compliance with a General Plan Land Use Element goal requiring adequate 13 public facilities for the City's projected population and a Land Use Element program that requires that there be no more than 1,500 dwelling units 14 outside a five-minute response time from a fire station. 2. That the Zone Change will provide consistency between the General Plan and Zoning as mandated by California State law and the City of Carlsbad General Plan Land Use Element, in that the R-l-20,000 zone implements the project's existing RLM General 17 Plan land use designation, according to Zoning Ordinance Section 21.10.010. 18 3. That the Zone Change is consistent with the public convenience, necessity and general welfare, and is consistent with sound planning principles in that: a. A fire station, as a public building, is a conditionally permitted use in the 20 R-l-20,000 zone. b. Three existing fire stations in the City also have a General Plan land use 21 designation of RLM and a zoning of R-l. c. The entire area surrounding the project site was deleted from the La Costa 22 Master Plan in 2001 as part of the Villages of La Costa Master Plan „ adoption. However, the project site remains an isolated, detached part of the La Costa Master Plan and is shown as "not a part" of the Villages of La 24 Costa Master Plan. The project site is surrounded by open space preserve, is not part of any planned community, and La Costa Master Plan standards 25 identify it as part of a larger master plan residential development, not a single fire station surrounded by open space. Therefore, it is appropriate to change the project zoning from P-C to R-l-20,000 in recognition of the 27 project site's isolated location and changed circumstances. d. The 20,000-square-foot minimum lot size required by the proposed zoning 28 ensures the 0.5-acre city-owned parcel cannot be further subdivided, which provides assurance that use of the parcel will not be intensified beyond the proposed fire station use. PCRESONO. 6155 -2- Conditions: 2 This approval is granted subject to the adoption of the Mitigated Negative Declaration 3 and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program for MP 149(U), CUP 05-13, and HMPP 06-01, approval of MP 149(U), CUP 05-13, and HMPP 06-01, and is subject to all conditions contained in Planning Commission Resolutions No. 6154, 6156, 6157, and ,. 6158 for those other approvals incorporated herein by reference. 6 2.

The Planning Commission finds that the project, as conditioned herein, is in conformance with the Elements of the City's General Plan, based on the facts set forth in the staff 13 report dated August 16,2006, including, but not limited to the following: a. Public Safety Element, Fire and Emergency Medical Services Goal A.2: "A 14 City which optimizes the organization and delivery of emergency services." b. Public Safety Element, Fire and Emergency Medical Services Objective B.2: "To maintain an initial response emergency travel response time of five (5) , g minutes." c. Land Use Element, Growth Management and Public Facilities Goal A.2: "A 17 City which maintains a system of public facilities adequate for the projected population." 18 d. Land Use Element, Overall Land Use Pattern Goal A.2: "A City which provides for an orderly balance of both public and private land uses...and ensures that all such uses, type, amount, design, and arrangement serve to 2Q protect and enhance the environment, character and image of the City." 21 2. That removal of the project site from MP 149 is appropriate as the entire area surrounding the project site was deleted from the La Costa Master Plan in 2001 as 22 part of the Villages of La Costa Master Plan adoption. However, the project site .- remains an isolated, detached part of the La Costa Master Plan and is shown as "not a part" of the Villages of La Costa Master Plan. The project site is surrounded 24 by open space preserve, is not part of any planned community, and La Costa Master Plan standards identify it as part of a larger master plan residential development, 25 not a single fire station surrounded by open space. Further, the City acquired the site in the late 1980s for the express purpose of building a fire station. Considering the project site's intended use, its isolation from surrounding development, and changed circumstances regarding the land use regulations now affecting it, its removal from the La Costa Master Plan is acceptable. 28 PCRESONO. 6156 -2- ~ That all necessary public facilities can be prpyided concurrent with need, and adequate 2 provisions have been provided to implement those portions of the Capital Improvement Program applicable to the subject property, in that Fire Station No. 6 is a Capital 3 Improvement Program project (#3901) and all necessary utilities and public facilities to serve the project, such as extension of utilities and suitable project access to and from Rancho Santa Fe Road, have been analyzed and determined to be - available for the project. 5 4. That in the case of institutional, recreational, and other similar nonresidential uses, such development will be proposed,, and surrounding areas are protected from any adverse 7 effects from such development, in that the project complies with the adjacency standards of the Habitat Management Plan and Habitat Conservation Plan/Ongoing Multi-Species Plan to ensure it is compatible with the surrounding open space habitat preserve. Further, a project mitigation measure requires emergency vehicle sirens to be activated upon a vehicle entering Rancho Santa Fe Road to reduce 10 temporary noise impacts on existing and future residents in the near development areas. 11 5. That the streets and thoroughfares proposed are suitable and adequate to carry the anticipated traffic thereon, in that Rancho Santa Fe Road, a prime arterial roadway, 13 has adequate capacity to handle the small amount of traffic (30-35 average daily trips) generated by the project. 14 6.

II.INTRODUCTION The City of Carlsbad proposes to construct a permanent fire station to replace a temporary station that has served the east La Costa area for years. Permanent Fire Station No. 6 would be built on 0.5-acre site acquired by the City in the late 1980s specifically for a fire station. The vacant project site is located about 300-feet west of Rancho Santa Fe Road and is completely surrounded by preserved habitat. An existing utility access easement, which connects the site to Rancho Santa Fe Road, would be improved for fire station traffic. A traffic signal is also proposed where the access would intersect Rancho Santa Fe Road. Total project acreage, including the access to Rancho Santa Fe Road, is 1.35 acres. The proposed fire station would be two stories, maximum 31.5-feet high, and approximately 6,200 square feet in area. It would house a crew of four and two apparatus vehicles. The building features a contemporary design with concrete roof tiles, stone veneer accents, and exterior colors that blend well with the surrounding natural environment. The fire station site has a General Plan designation of Residential Low Medium Density (RLM). The surrounding area has a General Plan designation of open space (OS). The zoning of the site o (' i ZC 05-12/MP 149(U)/CUP 05-13/HMPP 06-01 -FIRE STATION NO. o August 16,2006 Page 2 i- and surrounding open space is Planned Community (P-C). The surrounding area, part of the Villages of La Costa Master Plan, also has a master plan zoning of OS. The project site is a residual part of the La Costa Master Plan, which was adopted in the 1970s, In recognition of the fact that the project site is city-owned and designated for a fire station site, it is not a part of the more recently adopted Villages of La Costa Master Plan. Because the La Costa Master Plan envisioned the project location and its surroundings for residential development, it contains no standards for a fire station. Furthermore, as part of the adoption of the Villages of La Costa Master Plan in 2001, all of the area surrounding the fire station site (but not the site itself) was removed from the La Costa Master Plan to become part of the Villages of La Costa Master Plan. Due to the irrelevancy of the La Costa Master Plan to the project, an amendment to the La Costa Master Plan is proposed to delete the fire station site from the Plan. In addition to the Master Plan Amendment, a zone change is proposed to provide a suitable, non- master plan zoning designation. A change from P-C (Planned Community) to R-1-20,000 (One family residential, minimum 20,000 square foot lot size) is proposed. The change would affect only the 0.5 acre fire station site; the access that would connect the fire station site with Rancho Santa Fe Road would remain under its present P-C zoning and OS master plan zoning. The proposed zone will implement the fire station site's General Plan land use designation of RLM (Residential Low Medium Density). The sites of three other existing fire stations in Carlsbad have the same combination of R-l zone and RLM land use designation. A conditional use permit is required for fire stations in the R-l zone. The proposed conditional use permit would apply to both the proposed fire station and the access drive and other improvements proposed off-site of the fire station site and in the OS master plan zone. The habitat surrounding the fire station site is designated in the City's Habitat Management Plan (HMP) as hardline preserve area, which represent lands committed to conservation. Although disturbances to native vegetation are avoided as much as possible, the project would result in impacts both on and off the fire station site to vegetation communities such as non-native grassland, disturbed valley needle grassland, and revegetated coastal sage scrub; these impacts will require a Habitat Management Plan Permit. In addition to the HMP, the project is also subject to the City of Carlsbad/Fieldstone/La Costa Associates Habitat Conservation Plan/On-going Multi-Species Conservation RJan (HCP/OMSP). The HCP/OMSP, adopted in 1995 and prior to the final approval of the HMP in 2004, conserves over 800 acres in perpetuity to mitigate impact associated specifically with development of the Villages of La Costa Master Plan. The HCP/OMSP has legal precedence over the HMP when planning in or adjacent to lands conserved under the HCP/OMSP. It should be noted that although the HMP and HCP/OMSP identify the 0.5 acre city-owned site as "not a part" of either document, the project is still subject to the compatibility standards (e.g., shielded site lighting, non-invasive plant palette) of both documents owing to the project's proximity to the preserve area. Because the project requires access across and improvements in the surrounding habitat managed and regulated according to the HCP/OMSP, construction of the fire station would also require approval from the federal Fish and Wildlife Service and state Department of Fish and Game for a proposed minor adjustment to the boundaries of the HCP/OMSP. ZC 05-12/MP 149(U)/CUP 05-iS/HMPP 06-01 -FIRE STATION NO. o August 16,2006 Page 3 i - The project complies with City standards and all necessary findings can be made for the approval being requested. As permitted through the conditional use permit, an exemption to the front yard setback requirement to permit a reduced setback is requested. More details on this request are contained in the Analysis section of this report under "Conditional Uses." The Planning Commission is the final decision making body for the project conditional use permit and habitat management plan permit; the zone change and master plan amendment proposed require City Council action. III. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND In the late 1980s, the City identified a fire facility shortfall in the La Costa area. Shortly thereafter, the City acquired the present 0.50 acre site for the express purpose of building a fire station to address this shortfall. However, because of the then pending realignment of Rancho Santa Fe Road and uncertainties regarding road elevations, the City opted to build a temporary station on Levante Street in La Costa and operate it until the Rancho Santa Fe Road realignment and construction of a permanent fire station on the 0.50 acre parcel was completed. Now that the realignment is complete in the project vicinity, the City is processing this project to build the permanent station. Presently, the site is mostly disturbed and accessed by a dirt utility road between old and new Rancho Santa Fe roads. The former Rancho Santa Fe Road, now abandoned as a vehicular right of way and used for trail purposes, forms the west boundary of the fire station parcel. Near to the north is an east-west running SDG&E utility corridor. Otherwise, there is no adjacent development around the project site. Nearest existing residences are approximately 0.25 mile to the south; a future residential development that is part of the Villages of La Costa will be located more than 200-feet to the north, on the opposite side of the SDG&E transmission lines. Taking advantage of the former Rancho Santa Fe Road, the City proposes to use the eastern half street portion of the road immediately adjacent to the fire station parcel for site improvements, including parking, access, and landscape improvements. This would not interfere with the public trail as the trail is located on the west half of the former road. The fire station would not serve as a trailhead due to limited public parking availability, the potential for motorists to disrupt exiting emergency vehicles, and the need to minimize disruptions to traffic flow on the new Rancho Santa Fe Road. x The total gross area of the building would be approximately 6,200 square feet and the maximum elevation of the building would not exceed 31.5 feet from the finished pad. Associated concrete pavement adjacent to the structure is proposed. A paved response driveway would lead from the apparatus bays (garage) and connect to the proposed access that would run along the north side of the parcel to Rancho Santa Fe Road to the east. A return driveway would wrap around the west side of the building, continue around the south side of the building, and lead back to the apparatus bays. At the rear half of the site, behind a gated access, eight staff parking spaces are proposed. Outside the gate, along the site's west boundary and near the building's front entrance, three parking spaces are proposed for visitors and vendors. A six-foot high masonry wall borders the fire station site on its south and east sides and a portion of its west side. The wall would provide security and would buffer the surrounding habitat from fire station activities. Low pressure sodium lighting, shielded and directed toward the fire station, is proposed around ZC 05-12/MP 149(U)/CUP 05-13/HMPP 06-01 - FIRE STATION NO. o August 16, 2006 Page 4 ! . the exterior of the site and along the proposed access to Rancho Santa Fe Road. This lighting complies with HMP and HCP/OMSCP lighting standards. The planned fire station building is designed to include two floors. The first floor includes a functional open office, four dormitories, four showers and toilets, an apparatus storage room, an electrical room, a telephone equipment room, laundry facility, and locker room. The second floor includes an exercise room, toilet, kitchen and dining area, storage space, and a dayroom. The second floor also includes a large, west-facing outdoor covered deck with views to the ocean. A sliding pole provides speedy access for station personnel between the second and first floors. Rather than clear brush to provide fuel modification zones, the proposed building design incorporates features requested by the City's Fire Marshall that obviate the need to disturb any habitat or impact site design. The southerly and easterly sides of the building, for example, incorporate boxed eaves and the exterior walls have a minimum one-hour fire rating. The other sides of the building have adequate clearance to the native vegetation and do not require these design features. The proposed fire station building reaches a maximum height of 31.5-feet as measured from the building pad, which is under the 35-foot maximum height limit allowed in the proposed R-l- 20,000 zone. All sides of the building are proposed to feature an attractive stone veneer, including along the base of the building, at the main entrance, and on the columns supporting the west side trellis. The stone veneer complements the building exterior's earth tone colors. Views of the fire station from Rancho Santa Fe Road would be possible, although undulating topography between the road and the fire station site causes these views to be incremental. From the fire station, a proposed access drive would extend 300-feet east to Rancho Santa Fe Road and would follow an existing 60-foot wide utility easement. Presently featuring a dirt road, this easement would be improved with a 28-foot wide concrete drive; grading would also be required to ensure a suitable grade for fire trucks, particularly as the drive nears Rancho Santa Fe Road. All grading to accommodate the drive would be contained within the existing easement where the drive crosses HCP/OMSP preserve area. As owners of properties between the fire station site and Rancho Santa Fe Road, Center for Natural Lands Management (CNLM) and Morrow Development, the later the master developer of Villages of La Costa, would need to grant permission for the fire station access. •*. It is anticipated that the fire station would generate 30-35 average daily trips, based on a crew of four, two apparatus vehicles, and miscellaneous visitor and vendor trips. The eight staff parking spaces, provided to accommodate parking needs during shift changes, and three visitor and vendor parking spaces should be adequate. To provide controlled and safe fire station access, a new signalized intersection would be provided on Rancho Santa Fe Road at the project entrance to serve the site. According to the City's Transportation Division, the location of the project's proposed traffic signal would not meet the Engineering Department standard intersection spacing requirements. However, as required by a condition of approval, the traffic signal at this intersection would operate synchronously with San Elijo Road and Avenida Soledad to keep traffic flowing through this segment of Rancho Santa Fe Road in the future. Coordination of this intersection with the other traffic signals along this segment of Rancho Santa Fe Road would not significantly impact traffic volume and flows during peak travel ZC 05-12/MP 149(U)/CUP 05-13/HMPP 06-01 - FIRE STATION NO. o August 16,2006 PageS [ - periods. The green phasing of the signals would allow for traffic to flow without interruption and would help reduce congestion. The subject intersection would receive a red indication when pre- empted by a fire department emergency vehicle. This traffic signal would essentially be a green signal for Rancho Santa Fe Road traffic almost exclusively because of the very low traffic volume being generated by the fire station. Because of the minimal traffic volumes generated by the project, the addition of a signalized intersection is not anticipated to create significant traffic impacts. In recognition of its surroundings and HMP HCP/OMSP requirements, a drought tolerant, non- invasive plant palette is proposed. A number of trees, all 24-inch box size, are proposed around the building and parking areas. Types of trees proposed include holy oak, purple leaf plum, and camphor. Several shrubs, such as coyote brush and lantana, are also planned. Areas not formally planted but disturbed by project construction, such as along the access drive to Rancho Santa Fe and along the adjacent trail, would be hydroseeded with a native plant mix. This mix is subject to the approval of CNLM. The project would not alter existing drainage patterns. Runoff from the fire station site would be directed to a vegetated swale along the site's interior south boundary. The swale would catch run-off pollutants (i.e., leaves, gravel, heavy metals associated with gasoline, pesticides, fertilizers, oil, and dirt) before the run-off discharges south and west across old Rancho Santa Fe Road into the open space. IV. ANALYSIS The project is subject to the following plans, ordinances, and standards: A. Residential Low Medium Density (RLM) General Plan Land Use designation; B. La Costa Master Plan (MP 149); C. Villages of La Costa Master Plan (MP 98-01); D. One-family residential, minimum 20,000 square foot lot size (R-l-20,000) zone (Chapter 21.10 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code); E. Conditional Uses (Chapter 21.42 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code); F. Habitat Management Plan/Habitat Conservation Plan; and G. Growth Management Ordinance (Chapter 21.90 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code). X The recommendation for the approval of this project was developed by analyzing the project's consistency with all applicable regulations and policies. The project's compliance with each of the above regulations is discussed in detail in the sections below. A. General Plan The following Table 1 identifies General Plan goals and objectives relevant to the proposed project and indicates if the project is in compliance with those goals and objectives.

Yes Public Safety The proposed project provides essential emergency services and enables it to continue to comply with response time requirements. Yes B.La Costa Master Plan The La Costa Master Plan (MP 149) was first adopted by the City Council in 1972. It originally provided the basis for land use decisions on over 5,000 acres in the Southeast Quadrant. In 2001, as part of the Villages of La Costa Master Plan approval, the City amended the La Costa Master ZC 05-12/MP 149(U)/CUP 05-13/HMPP 06-01 - FIRE STATION NO. t> August 16,2006 Page? i - Plan by removing its southeast and northwest portions, approximately 1,800 acres, and making them part of the Villages of La Costa Master Plan instead. As the 0.5 acre fire station site is not subject to the Villages of La Costa Master Plan, it remains a detached, isolated part of the La Costa Master Plan. Along with its detachment from the rest of the La Costa Master Plan, removal of the project site from MP 149 is appropriate for other reasons as well. The project site is surrounded by open space preserve and is not part of any planned community. In contrast, the La Costa Master Plan standards identify the project area as part of a larger master plan residential development, not a single fire station surrounded by open space. Further, the City acquired the project site, in the late 1980s for the express purpose of building a fire station. Considering the project site's intended use, its isolation from surrounding development, and changed circumstances regarding the land use regulations now affecting it, its removal from the La Costa Master Plan as recommended is appropriate. C. Villages of La Costa Master Plan While the city-owned fire station parcel is not a part of the Villages of La Costa Master Plan, it is completely surrounded by it. Since development of a fire station in the Master Plan could impact master plan development, the Villages of La Costa environmental impact report (EIR) included a program level analysis of the fire station at the proposed site, including an extended access out to Rancho Santa Fe Road, and two, privately-owned locations elsewhere within the La Costa Oaks portion of the Master Plan. The EIR concluded that selection of any of the three sites for a fire station would be consistent with all City standards regarding fire and emergency services. Further, the EIR did not identify any of the sites as being environmentally superior to another. In addition, the EIR noted the project would be a compatible land use with the Villages of La Costa project. Portions of the project outside the fire station parcel, such as the access to Rancho Santa Fe Road, are within the boundaries of and subject to the Master Plan. The Master Plan designates the preserve area surrounding the fire station parcel as "open space for the preservation of natural resources" and has zoned the area as Master Plan Open Space. Since the Villages of La Costa Master Plan contains no specific use standards for open space lands within its boundaries, the Zoning Ordinance establishes the requirements for permitted and conditionally permitted open space uses. •*. The Zoning Ordinance conditionally permits public buildings and accessory utility buildings and facilities in the Open Space zone. The access and site improvements proposed in the Open Space zone to serve the fire station can be considered accessory utility facilities and can therefore be considered conditionally permitted uses. In the case of the proposed project, the proposed conditional use permit would apply both to the proposed fire station and the access and other improvements proposed offsite of the fire station. The fire station site is also adjacent to a public trail located in the old Rancho Santa Fe Road right of way. The Villages of La Costa Master Plan identifies this path as a citywide trail with a maximum width of ten feet. Part of the purpose of the trail is to connect existing and future neighborhoods to the north and south of the fire station. While the proposed project encroaches into a portion of the east half of the old road, it does not interfere with the trail as the trail has ZC 05-12/MP 149(U)/CUP 05-iS/HMPP 06-01 -FIRE STATION NO. o August 16, 2006 PaeeS i- been constructed in the west half of the old road and the old road is sufficiently wide (60-feet) to accommodate the trail. Planter areas would separate the project from the trail. D. R-l-20,000 Zone Currently, the project site has a P-C (Planned Community) zoning. This zoning is appropriate for a property located within a master plan. However, since an amendment to delete the project site from the La Costa Master Plan is proposed, a suitable non-master plan zone is needed. The current General Plan land use designation for the site, RLM (Residential Low Medium Density), is implemented by the R-l zone. The combination of RLM/R-1 reflects the General Plan and zone combination already found at three existing fire stations in Carlsbad, and staff believes it is also appropriate for this project. Furthermore, the numerical suffix of "20,000" following the R-l zone designator requires that any lot be a minimum 20,000 square feet. The R-l-20,000 is recommended as the appropriate zoning for the site as it is a non-master plan zone, it provides assurance that use of the 0.5 acre fire station parcel cannot be further intensified due to the minimum lot size required, and it permits a maximum building height of 35-feet, rather than 30-feet, which is the standard maximum height in the R-l zone. The proposed building has a height of 31.5 feet. Table 2 below illustrates how the project complies with the various R-l-20,000 standards. As shown, the project does not comply with the front yard requirement. Through the conditional use permit process, yard requirements may be adjusted. See the Conditional Uses discussion below for further details.

Conditional Uses (Carlsbad Municipal Code Chapter 21.42) Approval of a CUP requires the adoption of findings found in Chapter 21.42 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code. The proposed CUP applies to both the improvements proposed on the fire station parcel and those proposed off-site of the parcel, despite the different zonings. The findings required by the Municipal Code can be supported, as briefly demonstrated in Table 3 below. ZC 05-12/MP 149(U)/CUP 05-13/HMPP 06-01 -FIRE STATION NO. o August 16,2006 Page 9 i- TABLE 3 - REQUIRED CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FINDINGS Finding Proposed Use Compliance That the requested use is necessary or desirable for the development of the community, is essentially in harmony with the various elements and objectives of the General Plan, and is not detrimental to existing uses specifically permitted in the zone in which the proposed use is to be located. The project provides an essential public service to the community and a permanent replacement of a temporary fire station; it complies with General Plan provisions requiring adequate public services and a design sensitive to its environment. Yes That the site for the intended use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the use. The project site provides adequate building room (subject to the exemption) and vehicle access, maneuvering and parking. Yes That all the yards, setbacks, walls, fences, landscaping, and other features necessary to adjust the requested use to existing or permitted future uses in the neighborhood will be provided and maintained. The project, completely surrounded by preserved native habitat, has been sensitively designed with respect to its surroundings. For example, site lighting and a plant palette compatible with the natural surroundings are proposed, and, due to proposed building design, no fuel modification zones are necessary. The proposed access road from the proposed fire station to Rancho Santa Fe Road, which crosses the preserved habitat, is contained within an existing, mostly disturbed access easement. Further, the proposed fire station use is a compatible land use with existing and future land uses of the Villages of La Costa Master Plan according to that master plan's environmental impact report. The need for an exemption for a front yard setback less than the •*• minimum required will not be detrimental as the fire station is not adjacent to any other uses and additional landscape area proposed beyond the front property line provides the appearance of a conforming front yard. Yes ZC 05-12/MP 149(U)/CUP 05-13/HMPP 06-01 - FIRE STATION NO. o August 16, 2006 Page 10 TABLE 3 - REQUIRED CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FINDINGS CONTINUED Finding Proposed Use Compliance That the street system serving the proposed use is adequate to properly handle all traffic generated by the proposed use. Rancho Santa Fe Road can handle the low amount of project traffic; signalization of the project intersection at Rancho Santa Fe Road as proposed and conditioned would not be disruptive to traffic flow and would not cause a violation of City Growth Management Program standards, according to the City's Engineering Division. The current dirt access easement between Rancho Santa Fe Road and the fire station site is proposed to be improved to accommodate fire station apparatus. Yes Municipal Code Section 21.42.050 states that "the provisions for required front and side yards applicable to the particular zone in which any such use is proposed to be located shall prevail, unless in the findings and conditions recited in the resolution dealing with each such matter, specific exemptions are made with respect thereto." Staff recommends the exemption allowed by this section be applied to the front yard setback requirement for the proposed fire station building. The minimum front yard setback proposed is five feet five inches (5'5"); the proposed R-1-20,000 zone requires a minimum front yard setback of 20-feet. An exemption to allow a substandard front yard setback is acceptable for the following reasons: 1. Front and rear property lines of the fire station site are not parallel, causing the lot depth to be less on one side of the lot than the other. Combined with other yard requirements, building space needs, and the need to provide adequate access around the building for fire vehicles, the lot configuration limits building footprint options and causes the building to be at an angle to the front property line; 2. A proposed front setback under the required 20-feet would occur only along half of the building frontage. The proposed minimum front setback of five feet five inches would occur at the northwest corner of the front of the building; heading east, as the proposed building angles away form the property boundary, the front yard would increase in depth so that the required 20-feet setback minimum would be achieved at approximately the building's midpoint, which is at the west side of the fire station's garage. At the east end of the building, the front setback would be approximately 35-feet; 3. The minimum setback would not impact any adjacent uses, and; 4. Because fire station front yard landscaping extends 15-feet beyond the front property line to the proposed access drive, the substandard yard would not be obvious; instead, the project would appear to have a complying front yard setback along its entire frontage. As required by Section 21.42.050, a finding to support the exemption is included in the conditional use permit resolution.

Habitat Management Plan/Habitat Conservation Plan As previously mentioned, the several hundred acres of habitat surrounding the fire station site are designated in the City's Habitat Management Plan (HMP) as hardline preserve area, which represent lands committed to conservation. The project is also subject to the 1995 City of Carlsbad/Fieldstone/La Costa Associates Habitat Conservation Plan/On-going Multi-Species Conservation Plan (HCP/OMSP). The HCP/OMSP, which also conserves the surrounding habitat, was approved to mitigate impacts associated specifically with development of the Villages of La Costa Master Plan. The HCP/OMSP has legal precedence over the HMP when planning in or adjacent to lands conserved under the HCP/OMSP. Further, both the HMP and HCP/OMSP identify the 0.5 acre city-owned site as "not a part" of either document, although proximity of the site dictates that compatibility standards of both documents apply to development of the fire station. While project impacts to native habitats have been minimized through project design, such as avoiding the need for fuel modification zones and locating the project access within an existing access easement, impacts are proposed to the disturbed valley needle grassland, non-native grassland, and revegetated Diegan Coastal Sage Scrub plant communities. Impacts to these communities are considered significant by the HMP and subject to mitigation. The project also affects other vegetation communities and land covers, such as disturbed vegetation and disturbed land, which are also subject to mitigation under the HMP. Vegetation impacts occur due to construction of the fire station on the 0.5 acre fire station site and in the adjacent old Rancho Santa Re Road right of way, proposed grading to accommodate the access improvements to Rancho Santa Fe Road, or installation of underground utilities to connect with existing off-site facilities to the north and south. Total permanent impacts to plant communities considered significant under the HMP total 0.34 acres. Total temporary impacts to those same plant communities total 0.75 acres. Impacts that will be revegetated to native habitat following construction, such as installation of underground utilities, are considered temporary. Furthermore, areas graded for the project access to Rancho Santa Fe Road (excluding the access itself) generally would be revegetated to native habitat, which would be an improvement over the current "disturbed vegetation" state of these areas. As indicated in the proposed Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, mitigation for habitat impacts would occur either at the City-owned Lake Calavera site or in another location acceptable to the wildlife agencies. •*. The land surrounding the project, because it supports mature coastal sage scrub, has potential to support the California gnatcatcher. Indirect impacts to the gnatcatcher, such as construction noise, could result from the project. Accordingly, appropriate mitigation has been proposed. The proposed encroachment into the surrounding preserve area is required to comply with all HMP and HCP/OMSP adjacency standards and impact minimization and mitigation measures. These standards and measures have been established to ensure developments adjacent to preserve areas are compatible with the preserves. To this end, the project proposes, among other things, no impacts to narrow endemics, proper restrictions on grading during the wildlife breeding season, no fuel modification zones, no direct impacts to any sensitive plant species, and no jeopardizing of sensitive wildlife. ZC 05-12/MP 149(U)/CUP 05-13/HMPP 06-01 -FIRE STATION NO. b August 16,2006 Page 12 i- Further, while the project does impact the hardline preserve area to provide access, parking, and accessory improvements, these improvements are contained almost entirely on disturbed land and are completely within existing access easements and public right of way. Additionally, a purpose of the HMP is to "allow the City to construct public facility and infrastructure projects dictated by the City's Growth Management Plan." The proposed fire station is necessary to maintain compliance with this plan. As identified above, the proposed project has avoided and minimized impacts to habitat. With mitigation measures included in the project Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, all identified impacts can be shown to be consistent with the HMP and reduced to a level of insignificance. Further, the project is consistent with Municipal Code Chapter 21.210, Habitat Preservation and Management Requirements, and is conditioned consistent with the management, maintenance, and monitoring standards of Section 21.210.14. Accordingly, the project is considered to be consistent with the HMP. The project must obtain a proposed minor adjustment to the boundaries of the HCP/OMSP from the federal Fish and Wildlife Service and state Department of Fish and Game. The adjustment is needed because the project requires access across and improvements in the habitat preserve managed and regulated according to the HCP/OMSP. Approximately 0.65 acre of HCP/OMSP open space would be permanently impacted by the project to provide for the access drive, a. portion of the parking lot, and utility improvements. This impacted area is generally disturbed and development and use of it as proposed would not result in substantial adverse impacts to the species of concern that are covered under the HCP/OMSP. The proposed minor adjustment can be approved administratively by the wildlife agencies. A mitigation measure requires agency approval of the minor adjustment before building or grading permits are issued for the project. G. Growth Management The proposed project is located within Local Facilities Management Zone 11 in the Southeast quadrant of the City. The impacts on public facilities created by the project, and its compliance with the adopted performance standards, are summarized in Table 4 below.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the Environmental Protection Ordinance (Title 19) of the Carlsbad Municipal Code, staff has conducted an environmental impact assessment to determine if the project could have any potentially significant impact on the environment. The environmental impact assessment identified potentially significant impacts to biological resources, geology/soils, hydrology/water quality, land use and planning, noise, and mandatory findings of significance. Mitigation measures have been incorporated into the design of the project and have been placed as conditions of approval for the project such that all potentially significant impacts have now been mitigated to below a level of significance. Consequently, a Notice of Intent to adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration was published in the newspaper and sent to the State Clearinghouse for public agency review. Two comments were received during the 30 day public review period from May 3, 2006 to June 2, 2006. The comment period was extended an additional week at the request of the United States Fish and Wildlife Service; however, comments were not received from the Service during the comment period. The two comments received were from the State of California Public Utilities Commission and Center for Natural Lands Management (CNLM). The PUC comments are not relevant to the project as it is not located adjacent to or near a North County Transit District right-of-way. Therefore, no additional response is required. CNLM owns and manages the habitat preserve area surrounding the fire station site, including the property the proposed access to Rancho Santa Fe Road would cross. In its comments, CNLM noted it found the proposed project mitigation measures as suitable and that it would approve an easement to allow the proposed fire station access across its land. The organization also requested the City install a chain link fence along the access that would tie in with a fence planned by CNLM along Rancho Santa Fe Road. The purpose of both fences is to control unwanted access, help prevent dumping, and reduce animal deaths by directing wildlife to a Rancho Santa Fe Road undercrossing south of the fire station site. A recommended condition of approval in the resolution for the conditional use permit requires the city to install the fence along the access. A detailed environmental document has been prepared to support the proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration and is attached. Entitled "Final Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration for the City of Carlsbad Fire Station No. 6," the document contains the initial study, comments received on the Notice of Intent to adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration, and the City's responses to them as well as supporting text and appendices. The document also includes the proposed Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, which is also attached to the resolution recommending approval of the Mitigated Negative Declaration.

The proposed facility would accommodate up to four personnel and two apparatus vehicles. The fire station would be built on a 0.5 acre city-owned parcel located approximately 300-feet west of recently constructed Rancho Santa Fe Road and about 0.5 mile south of San Elijo Road. While the site has been previously graded, it is surrounded by open space preserve. Proposed access to the fire station across this preserve would utilize an existing access and utility easement, featuring a graded dirt road, which runs along the north boundary of the site to recently constructed Rancho Santa Fe Road. This existing easement would be improved to accommodate fire vehicles. A zone change and an amendment to the La Costa Master Plan is proposed for the project. A minor adjustment to the 1995 City of Carlsbad/Fieldstone/La Costa Associates Habitat Conservation Plan/On-going Multi-Species Plan for Properties in the Southeast Quadrant of the City of Carlsbad. California, the document which governs the surrounding open space preserve, is proposed primarily to allow project access. LEGAL DESCRIPTION: That portion of Section 31. Township 12 South.

Mr. Neu introduced Agenda Item 3 and stated Associate Planner Scott Donnell assisted by Senior Civil Engineer Terry Smith would make the staff presentation. Mr. Donnell gave a presentation and stated he would be available to answer any questions. Chairperson Montgomery asked if there were any questions of staff. Commissioner Whitton asked if the City was applying for a permanent Conditional Use Permit for the fire station. Mr. Donnell replied yes. Commissioner Whitton asked if there was a high degree of certainty that the wildlife agencies would approve the mitigation measures. Mr. Donnell stated that based on previous meetings and telephone conversations with the agencies, he felt the Fish and Wildlife agencies were comfortable with the minor proposed adjustment. Mr. Donnell also stated the agencies were aware of that evening's Planning Commission meeting and that approval with them would take place after the meeting but before permits were pulled for construction. Commissioner Whitton asked if an agreement was obtained from the property owners to get permission for access to the fire station. Mr. Donnell replied yes, the surrounding property owner, Center for Natural Lands Management, had already indicated they would support the access easement. Commissioner Baker asked how the City could justify the 31.5 feet fire station height when 30 feet was the maximum height limit for a single family home. Mr. Donnell stated because the land was zoned R1- 20,000, the zoning limits permited heights of up to 35 feet. Commissioner Baker asked if the building could have been moved further west to avoid having only a 5.5- foot front setback. Mr. Donnell stated the building was shifted to the east due to circulation and parking requirements in addition to providing a suitable setback for wild fire concerns. Commissioner Baker asked why the wildfire concern would be different on the 5.5-foot setback side of the building compared to the other sides of the building. Mr. Donnell stated that there was an easement in front of the setback on the 5.5-setback side that enabled the building to be quite a distance to habitat adjacent to the front setback. Therefore, the need was not as great to include specific building measures for wildfire concerns. Mr. Donnell explained that on the west side of the structure, the setback that was provided mitigates concerns with wildfire impacts. Chairperson Montgomery asked Mr. Donnell to identify the fire station garage doors on the slide presentation. Mr. Donnell pointed out the 2 sets of garage doors at the front elevation facing the north and at the rear of the building facing south. Commissioner Baker asked if the purpose of the signal and intersection on Rancho Santa Fe Road was to stop traffic for emergency response vehicles to access Rancho Santa Fe Road and if this stop light would be green for the majority of the time. Mr. Donnell replied yes to both questions. Commissioner Dominguez asked if a standard light would be installed at that intersection. Mr. Smith replied yes. Commissioner Dominguez asked if there were specialized signals available for this use as an alternative to using a costly standard traffic control signal. Mr. Smith stated the City's Engineering Department preferred the standard signal to provide consistency throughout the City and to avoid the potential confusion a different type of signal may cause. Planning Commission Minutes August 16, 2006 Page 5 Commissioner Baker stated her concern with installing a costly signal when it would be used only when fire trucks were rolling out of the station. Mr. Smith stated the signal would be utilized by visitors and personnel accessing the site as well. Commissioner Baker asked if 35 ADTs would typically warrant a signal. Mr. Smith stated the signal's primary purpose was for stopping traffic when emergency response vehicles need to access Rancho Santa Fe Road. Commissioner Baker stated she understood but questioned the need for a full signal. Mr. Smith stated the full signal was necessary for normal circulation accessing the site whether it be for visitors, people going to work, or fire trucks. Commissioner Dominguez asked if alternative signals were used for this purpose which would preclude spending a half of a million dollars for only 35 ADT. Mr. Smith stated traffic volume on Rancho Santa Fe Road was 35,000 ADT and that no, there were no alternative signals currently used in Carlsbad for this purpose. Commissioner Dominguez asked if research had been conducted to look into the possibility of alternative emergency response signalization. Mr. Smith stated the City's Engineering department made the decision to use the standard signal and Bob Johnson, the City's Traffic Engineer, recommended the standard full signal. Commissioner Whitton stated Rancho Santa Fe Road was heavily trafficked and the signal would not be consistently green due to the 35 civilian ADTs which would trigger stops during the course of the day. Mr. Smith concurred and stated the 35 ADTs was a high estimate of trips generated by the facility. Commissioner Whitton asked if there was a more economical way to accommodate these vehicles. Commissioner Whitton explained he agreed with the project but thought for the amount of money this type of signal would cost, perhaps more research would be wise. Mr. Smith stated he did not believe this was a land use issue and also stated all the necessary department approvals had been completed and the standard full signal was recommended by the traffic engineer. Chairperson Montgomery asked if the fire station signal would activate in coordination with the signal on Avenida Soledad which was 400 feet north. Mr. Smith stated the idea would be that when the traffic signal for the fire department turned red, the traffic signal at Avenida Soledad would turn red as well and when they turned green, they would both be green. Chairperson Montgomery asked if it was possible to have the signal at Avenida Soledad be the primary activation source so the fire station signal would not activate until the light at Avenida Soledad was triggered. Mr. Smith replied yes, it was something that could be looked at by studying the traffic pattern. Mr. Smith stated u-turns would need to be addressed. Chairperson Montgomery stated that posting a no u-turn sign would probably be best. Commissioner Whitton asked if there would be dedicated left-hand turn lanes. Mr. Smith replied yes. Chairperson Montgomery asked staff what assurance the Commission would have that the previously mentioned items would be addressed such as the signal coordination of the fire station signal with the signal at Avenida Soledad. Assistant City Attorney Jane Mobaldi stated they were getting far field of the conditions that the Planning Commission was to approve that night and stated Resolution 6157, Condition 32 did require the developer to install a signal. Ms. Mobaldi stated it was within the Planning Commission's parameters to determine whether a traffic light be required however, she felt the intricacies of how the light works and when and how the light would be triggered was outside the purview of the Planning Commission and belonged in the expertise of the traffic department. Commissioner Baker asked Ms. Mobaldi if when a development was brought before the Planning Commission, it was within the Planning Commission's purview to consider circulation routes. Commissioner Baker explained her concerns were with ensuring traffic flowing smoothly on Rancho Santa Fe Road. Ms. Mobaldi stated Commissioner Baker's concern was legitimate and suggested that if that was the main concern, perhaps the item should be continued in order to have the traffic engineer come in to explain his thoughts. Planning Commission Minutes August 16, 2006 Page 6 Mr. Smith stated there would be flexibility to adjust the signal timing which was the reason for having the signals inter-connected and stated it was Bob Johnson's preference to study the situation and make the appropriate adjustments. Mr. Smith stated their recommendation to Bob Johnson would be to synchronize the left turn timing with the actual traffic at Avenida Soledad to minimize impacts. Mr. Smith stated traffic patterns were dynamic and were constantly changing as development occurred and patterns would constantly be monitored. Deputy City Engineer David Mauser explained the cost of the traffic signal would be $185,000 to $200,000 not $500,000 as had previously been suggested. Mr. Mauser also stated if a different type signal was used, the difference in cost would be minimal and the signal may not have the capability to inter-connect with the other signals. Mr. Mauser stated he agreed with Ms. Mobaldi to have the traffic considerations determined by the traffic department. Chairperson Montgomery asked if the signals could be synchronized as much as possible. Mr. Mauser stated the traffic engineers would respond to any issues and would reset the computers to set up the maximum flow to make the roadway work the best way possible. Mr. Mauser stated he did not think there was an alternative to having a full standardized signal other than determining that the site was not adequate for a fire station because of the traffic signal. Commissioner Whitton asked if the quoted $185,000 - $200,000 figure was for one traffic signal unit. Mr. Mauser stated $185,000 - $200,000 in addition to $20,000 for signal interconnects, would be the entire signal cost for the intersection. Chairperson Montgomery asked if the price encompassed multiple signal heads. Mr. Mauser replied yes. Commissioner Whitton stated this project was extremely important and that there were other projects hinging on the approval of this project. Commissioner Whitton stated he was prepared to move the project forward and although there may be no alternative, he would like to see more consideration on the intersection signalization. Mr. Mauser stated they would take into consideration and discuss with the traffic engineer no u-turns and pedestrian crossing. Mr. Smith stated they do not anticipate pedestrian crossing at the intersection. Mr. Mauser stated pedestrian crossing was something they would look at and would probably install a sign stating there would be no pedestrian crossing. Chairperson Montgomery opened public testimony and asked if there was anyone in the audience who wished to speak on Agenda Item 3; seeing none, Chairperson Montgomery closed public testimony. DISCUSSION Chairperson Montgomery stated this Planning Commission received a proposal for a temporary fire station a few months back for Fire Station #6 which resulted in a split decision and denied the move of that station. Chairperson Montgomery explained that in looking back at those notes, the Planning Commission was lead to believe that the meeting that night would not be held for 18 months to 3 years and further explained that if the Planning Commission would have known Item 3 was so near, the vote for Fire Station #6 might have been different. Chairperson Montgomery asked what occurred which caused this event to come forward so quickly. Mr. Smith stated the architect was hired 2 years ago and the environmental consultant was hired 6 months later. Mr. Smith explained there was some hesitation from Staff to give a firm timeline as to when the project would move forward since they did not have much contact with the Fish and Wildlife agencies and did not know their position on the project. Mr. Smith stated Staff and the environmental consultant did an outstanding job which was acknowledged by the Fish and Wildlife agencies not commenting during the environmental review period. The agencies have worked with the City on this minor adjustment to the habitat conservation plan and in concept have an agreement which was expected to be formalized soon. Chairperson Montgomery stated a few months ago, the City did not know where they stood with the Fish and Wildlife agency nor the Department of Fish and Game which was why the Planning Commission was told it could be 18 months to a few years before the project was brought forward. Mr. Smith concurred. Planning Commission Minutes August 16, 2006 Page 7 Mr. Mauser inquired if Staff meant that that was the timeframe when they would come back for recommendation of approval on the CUP or were they saying that was the timeframe they would have to stay in the existing building. Mr. Mauser explained it would take another few weeks to get to City Council, the bidding and award process would take 4 months, and the construction process would put them at least 18 months away from getting to a point where they could move in. Chairperson Montgomery stated the Planning Commissioner was led to believe the approval of this project was nebulous and no option was presented to the Planning Commission other than the knowledge that there was a permanent fire station location. Chairperson Montgomery explained the Planning Commission went through a lot of effort and the vote was very close. Chairperson Montgomery stated he was pleased the project went through.
